Corpus

The Marsian inscriptions are dated by the style of the alphabet from about 300 to 150 BC (the middle Roman Republic). Conway lists nine inscriptions, one from Ortona and two each from Marruvium, Lecce, Trasacco and Luco. In addition, there are a few glosses, a few place names and a few dozen personal names in Latin form.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Reproduction of the inscription

The Bronze of Lake Fucinus was an inscribed bronze plaque found in 1877 near Luco during the draining of the lake, from an ancient settlement that had been covered by the lake. The bronze was placed in the Museum of Prince Alessandro Torlonia, where it was photographed for publication. It was lost in 1894 and it has not been seen since. The text of the plaque is as follows:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

It seems to be or describe a votive offering (Script error: No such module "Lang".) perhaps of boars (Script error: No such module "Lang".) to the local goddess(es) Anctia (Script error: No such module "Lang".) on behalf of the Marsian Legions (pro le[gio]nibus martses).[2]

Notes

  1. ^ For the phonetic transcription from Oscan to Latin alphabet see, for example, this page Script error: No such module "webarchive". or this one. All of the Oscan monetary legends are retrograde, just like the one running clockwise on the copy reproduced in the margin.
